The Toasted Yolk Cafe
Biloxi, MS
A bright Howard Avenue breakfast and brunch spot serving eggs Benedict, shrimp and grits, and French toast until 3 p.m. daily. Full bar and a dog-friendly patio.
Atmosphere
The Toasted Yolk opened on Howard Avenue in July 2023, and it is a modern breakfast room in the revitalized old-Biloxi stretch, more polished than the classic Coast diners. Weekend mornings are the busy stretch. There is a dog-friendly patio for good-weather mornings, and a full bar means a mimosa or Bloody Mary is a normal thing to order at nine a.m. Be upfront with yourself about one thing: this is a multi-location brand that also offers franchising, not a one-off Biloxi original. The kitchen still cooks from scratch, sauces and dressings included, and downtown Biloxi has treated it like a local favorite since opening day.
What to Order
Breakfast is the whole point, so start there. Eggs Benedict comes in several varieties, the biscuits and gravy get steady praise in reviews, and shrimp and grits is the Gulf Coast pick if you want the plate to feel local. The doughnuts, served with cinnamon sugar and a warm caramel dipping sauce, work as a shared starter for the table. French toast is the dish the restaurant leads with on its own website, and the menu also runs to omelets, pancakes, Belgian waffles, and breakfast bowls. If someone in your group wants lunch, there are sandwiches, salads, and a soup of the day. Portions are generous, so a big appetite is not required and a shared sweet plate makes sense.
Good to Know
The Biloxi location lists hours as daily, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Hours can change around holidays, so check before you drive over. It is breakfast and lunch only. Expect a wait on weekends. Recent visitor reviews describe anything from about 15 minutes to nearly an hour on a busy morning, so arriving right at 7 or after the 1 p.m. lull is the easy fix. The restaurant also takes online orders if you would rather carry breakfast back to your room. Prices run a little higher than a classic diner, and a few reviewers call it pricey for what you get.
Our Take
This is the safest sit-down breakfast in downtown Biloxi: a long menu, real cooking, and something for the pickiest person at the table. It is a chain, and it does not pretend otherwise, but the biscuits and gravy and the shrimp and grits are good enough that nobody in your party will care. Go on a weekday for the shortest wait, order a Benedict, and put a name on the list the minute you walk in.
